The stabilities of GPCB and GNMP and their properties were thoroughly studied using various techniques. In addition, the dispersion stabilities of G with commercial polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVPy) were compared in PCB and NMP solvents.

The nano-anode material with more folds has a larger specific surface area, which gives it excellent electrochemical performance when used as an anode material for lithium-ion batteries. Electrochemical analysis of the ZnNiCoOn2 (methanol-to-water volume ratio of 3:4) nano-anode materials prepared from mixed solutions with different volume ratios showed that the ZnNiCoOn2 electrode was able to maintain a capacity of 377.7 mAh∙g⁻<sup>1</sup> when the current density is returned to 0.1 A g⁻<sup>1</sup> after rate performance tests, which was a good cycling performance.
